Think Pink Hawaii

Follow Don Draper to Waikiki's Pink Palace

Words: Lee Tulloch, Photography: Tony Amos

It’s probably Elvis Presley’s fault that Hawaii is thought of as ‘Blue Hawaii,’ after his popular 1961 movie of the same name. Yes, the skies are consistently blue in the 50th State of the USA. But stay in the classic Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki Beach and you’ll be dazzled by pink, from the candy-striped bathrobes in your room, to the phalanx of pink umbrellas that line the hotel’s strip of white sand. Say yes to pink, we think!
